We had our Thanksgiving in October. It isn't that we're more thankful than Americans; it's just that we have more to be thankful for in October than in November. We're still thankful for not being Americans.

They call America a melting pot. I see it as a giant bowl of cereal. Filled with fruits, nuts, and flakes. Ben Franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird rather than the Bald Eagle. Maybe if the turkey had become the national bird, there would be no turkeys getting killed every year. Wonder what we would have eaten then?

Remember that there would never have been our Thanksgiving if the Protestant Christians of England had not chased the crazy Puritan nutjobs out of the country.That is certainly something England and Europe should be thankful for but I still wish they had chased them to Canada or Australia or India instead of here.

I learned something new. One would think I would have learned this history years ago, but I never paid much attention to it. The Congregationalists and the Presbyterians, eh? Interesting!

Its funny how tradition influences people even today. We have customers just coming back from out of town who nevertheless simply *have* to buy a turkey and have their own dinner. Seems Thanksgiving is a celebration of Gods blessing and bounty upon peoples lives--at least for many. Others skip the prayer unless their team happens to be losing.
